Diamond grinding.
Coating removal and surface preparation a new system can bond to.
Why it matters
What it fixes.
Surface preparation decides how long a coating lasts. Diamond grinding removes old coatings, adhesive and the weak top layer of the concrete, leaving an open, sound surface for the new system to bond to.
- Old paint, epoxy or tile adhesive on the floor
- A weak, dusty concrete surface
- New coatings that peel because the prep was skipped
System options
Preparation we do.
The right one depends on the traffic, the chemicals and how long the area can close. We specify it after the site visit.
- 01
Coating removal
Old paint, epoxy and failed coatings ground off down to sound concrete.
Best forBefore re-coating.
- 02
Tile and vinyl adhesive removal
Old floor coverings lifted and the adhesive ground off. We did this before a three-coat PU system.
Best forRefurbished buildings, new tenants.
- 03
Two-step diamond grind
A coarse grind to open the concrete, then a finer pass for an even profile.
Best forLarge floors before coating.
- 04
Laitance removal
The weak, dusty skin on new concrete removed so the primer can soak in.
Best forNew slabs.
The system
Grinding is step one.
A new coating is only as strong as what it sits on.
- 03Top layerEpoxy, polyurethane or MMA, specified for the traffic and the chemicals.
- 02Primer systemSoaks into the open concrete and locks the new system to the slab.
- 01Surface prepOld coatings, adhesive and the weak, dusty top skin are ground off, leaving clean, open concrete. Cracks filled.
Grinding is the surface prep every floor system starts with.
Where it's used
Made for.
- Before any new coating
- Removing old coatings
- Removing vinyl and tile adhesive
- Floor rejuvenation
Questions
Good to know.
Do you remove old tiles and vinyl?
Yes. On one floor we lifted old vinyl tiles, did a two-step diamond grind over the whole area and finished it with three coats of UV-stable polyurethane.
